Wow these weeks go faster and faster and faster every one. This week we worked hard at finding by the spirit more and trying to catch back up with the investigators we have found. We had some very good experiences finding and were able to also do some good follow up with some investigators.
We were able to find 3 young men in the rain. we were walking and it was just starting to rain. because the sun had been out when we left we didn't have umbrellas or anything to protect us. so we talked to some guys that were out in front of their house under a roof thing that was there. They let us come under the roof thing and paid quite a bit of attention as we explained the restoration to them.
We also found a young couple. the man is 19 the woman is 16 and they are living in a little brick room that's about 7 feet by 7 feet. they asked us some good questions about Christ and we are looking forward to getting to visit them again.
We in general have been really blessed by our finding efforts here. I think the lord for sure helps us find when we seek faithfully and diligently.
I also got to attend church here in the group for the first time this Sunday. there were 7 people in attendance and 2 of them were small children. 4 of the 5 of us big people all got up and bore our testimonies it was a very powerful spirit that was present to help remind me that the lord has his people numbered and we are all very important to him even if we are in a meeting with only 7 people there.
I'm excited to be able to be here and help the members out here in this small group. they are few but the church started with very few members and look at what it is now. well hopefully the same can happen here little by little the group can go growing until it becomes a branch.
I love this time to be able to testify of Christ. He is our redeemer and he can give our souls rest. He died to break the bonds of death and hell and set us free. He makes us free to chose and free to decide where we want to end up. He is the reason we are able to continue every day. I'm grateful for his sacrifice for me.
